First time venue for Home Alone this year - Lake Mazinaw (Red A on map). About three hours north-east of Toronto. At a member's cottage.

Interesting geological formation.

Most of the lakes were carved east to west due to the scouring ction of the glaciers.

However, Mazinaw goes literally against the grain, north-south.

Although some say this was the result of a massive geological fault, shearing the earth, other seismic research concludes that the "deformation is most likely to have occurred as a result of the rapid melt of buried ice blocks."

Who knew? All we were doing was drinking beer and floating on it. [But not at the the same time, of course! That would be illegal.]

Beautiful start to any morning with that view.

So let's head down to the dock, shall we boys?

Where we find our newest member - between strums - valiantly (fruitlessly?) trying to snare breakfast.

Welcome

Hi, I'm Jim Arnott. For whatever reason, I've decided to create a blog. Why would someone want to read my blog? If you have any ideas, please let me know.

My shtick will be to post photos and comments using only my cell phone. Why? It's not because I'm too cheap to buy a real camera. Don't believe those rumours. It's because, well.......this is the only camera I choose to have. Yeah, that's it.

And based on this photo, maybe these low resolution babies are the way to go. Yikes!
